Document summarisation

Reduce a long document to what the reader has to know.

Build this with us

FROM POSSIBILITY TO PRACTICE

What it does for your business

Turn a long business document into a summary shaped around what the reader needs to decide or do. The workflow can bring out key points, obligations and open questions while keeping references to the original material for verification.

The value it could bring

These are the improvements to evaluate against your current process. We agree the scope and test the value with your team.

Quicker orientation

Help readers find the parts relevant to their task without starting with the entire document.

A summary with context

Shape the output around the reader's decision instead of producing a generic shortened version.

Easier verification

Keep source references next to key points so the original meaning can be checked.

EVIDENCE FROM OTHER BUSINESSES

Published ROI evidence

We have not linked a comparable published financial ROI study for this use case yet. That leaves it unranked, rather than assigning an estimated score. A pilot can measure benefits and total implementation and running costs in your business.

How it works in your business

  1. STEP 1

    Bring in the right context

    Select the relevant information from your document repository, office tools and internal knowledge base. Agree what a good result looks like with your business and knowledge team, including the rules, examples and permissions the workflow needs.

  2. STEP 2

    Turn the task into a workflow

    Reduce a long document to what the reader has to know. Build the draft around the required information, keep factual content tied to supplied sources and identify anything the writer still needs to confirm.

  3. STEP 3

    Put the result to work

    Return an editable draft in the team's working format, ready for the owner to refine and approve. Document owners verify factual claims, references and access permissions before sharing the result.

AN EXAMPLE IN PRACTICE

A project lead receives a lengthy supplier proposal. The workflow prepares a brief covering scope, commitments, exclusions and unanswered questions, with page references. The lead checks the relevant source passages before using the brief in a decision.

Start with a focused pilot

Choose one workflow, one team and a representative set of real tasks. We establish the current baseline, build the first version and review the results together before expanding it.

What we would start with

Depending on the scope, useful inputs include:

  • Source documents the team is authorised to access
  • The reader's question and required summary structure
  • Reference and factual verification rules

We agree access and integration with your document repository, office tools and internal knowledge base as part of the design.

How we would measure value

  • Time to a verified summary
  • Material omissions and factual corrections
  • Accuracy of source references

Document owners verify factual claims, references and access permissions before sharing the result.
